The Mayor
I know this town. I keep my word here.
You run things the way the town wants.
You know everyone by name, keep your word without fail, and stay composed no matter what walks through the door. Curious enough to consider something new, you would still rather improve what already works.
Dependable · Sociable · Composed
The five together
Sociable, fair, organised and unflappable, you run a town the way it wants to be run, know everyone, keep your word, and are rarely surprised.
The Mayor's result is high on Extraversion, Agreeableness, Conscientiousness and Emotional Stability and in the middle on Openness. Each band is wide on purpose: a score near a boundary can fall either side on a retake, and the portrait describes the pattern, not a precise point.

The traits behind The Mayor
A portrait is a pattern across five measured dimensions. Every trait is reported as a percentile against the reference sample; the three bands and the portrait name exist to make the result easier to talk about, and the percentile is always shown alongside. Each dimension has its own page explaining what it means, what the research says it predicts, and how it can change.
- High band, above the 70th percentileWhat is Extraversion?
How much you enjoy being around people, talking, and doing lively things, and how much energy that gives you.
- High band, above the 70th percentileWhat is Agreeableness?
How kind, trusting, and cooperative you tend to be with other people, and how much you put getting along ahead of getting your way.
- High band, above the 70th percentileWhat is Conscientiousness?
How organised, careful, and reliable you are about getting things done and keeping your promises.
- High band, above the 70th percentileWhat is Emotional Stability?
How calm and even you usually feel, and how quickly you bounce back when something upsets you.
- Balanced band, 30th to 70th percentileWhat is Openness?
How much you enjoy new ideas, art, imagination, and experiences that are different from what you already know.
The Snapshot also measures Honesty-Humility, which appears in your report but is not part of the portrait code. How much you tell the truth, play fair, want only your fair share, and avoid showing off, even when you could get away with more.
